Project description:
A monocoque Shell (hollow triangular sculpture made of steel plates), holding a real KIA car at the top

The Challenge:
• Non-standard permanent steel frame structure, made of thin plate elements subject to large buckling and deformation
• Dynamic and non-linear analysis and behaviour

The Solution:
• Using FEA analysis with fine meshing allowed us to identify highly stressed area, in particular the connections and joints
• Graitec Advance Design could handle this project easily, even non-standard structural forms in dynamic and non-linear analysis. Due to Advance Design�s user friendly interface, any changes could be managed with ease
